In worked for Kohls in Michigan a few years back and got 8.50 hrly and treated very good
It was for xmas help but I was asked to stay on but not enough hrs for me to stay. the worst thing is too many cheifs and not enough indians.

HI, I am looking to get a job for Holiday help at Kohls. Can you tell me what the person does for the night shift, that has to do with signage? Is this an easy job? They want me to work from 7pm to 2am.

Most importantly, we value honesty and high ethical standards. We're a family and our Associates respect themselves and each other. -

It is a big lie.
If some employees see that you are very cleaver and fast and have many good suggestions, they treat you as a piece of junk. I just started to work in a new Kohl's store and already felt in on my own. They smile in your face, pretending to be your friend, but behind your back they saying bad things about you.

Shaina Desotelle in Milwaukee, Wisconsin said: I worked in the store for 4 years. The wage is not worth the amount of work you have to do, especially if you work in a department versus just working the register. I started at $7.00 and was only at $8.50 when I left four years later.

However, if you're interested in jobs at the corporate office, the pay is very good. (I know this because my fiance and my father both work for the corporate office, and both formerly work at store level.) There are a lot more benefits working at the corporate level, not only in pay, but in what corporate employees are offered and how they are treated. (Apparently sitting in cubicles is much harder than actually working in the store... That's the only way I can understand why there is such a pay gap.)

But, to answer the question more directly:

Benefits:
-health and dentalinsurance for full and part-time employees
-401K option after working for year (could be longer, I don't remember)
-discounts at certain companies including Apple, 24Hr. Fitness, Verizon Wireless, etc known as Kohl's perks
-15% employee discount on all merchandise except gift cards and Kohl's Cares for Kids merchandise

I've worked for Kohls for over 8yrs. I used to think it was a fun and professional place to work. But recently the company make a dramatic changes. I don't have living family in the state I live. And I haven't seen my health failing father in 2yrs for the holidays. I worked one day a week. And gave advanced notice of over 2 months for this time off. I was told no one gets the holiday off. Since this might be the last time I see my father for the holidays, I told them I was going no matter what. Instead of communicating any problems or threats, they mearly stopped scheduling me. Very mature. Knowing I was being "punished" I didn't bother asking why. But called every week to see if I'd be put on the schedule. No hours. And for 8wks this went on. I've even ask, and got the run-a-round. (Mind you we got a fairly new store mgr) But the store mgr spoke nothing. Morale at this Kohls was at an all time low. Even an 02 (support mgr) Quit because of this SM. And she's been there before it was even Kohls some 15yrs. I've even made a call to the Corp Office. Only to see him assume it was me. My work ethic was in question. Why would I wait 8wks. (I have another job and not into games.) Now going into 9wks without notice. I talked to another mgr at Kohls to get what was once a nice mgr turned PitBull hang up on me because I didn't believe her lame excuse. Which was that they had to hire someone to fill my shoes of one day of absent. I don't know about the rest of the Kohls store's but I know this, they are doing house cleaning and no longer professional about it. To this day they have yet to tell me what's going on. Today I did get a phone call but knowing I am not going to be employed, I refuse to call back. I have never seen a poor performance at a nationwide business act so poorly. By the way, I made $11.15 an hour. Obviously, that's what I think lost me that job. But very unprofessional about handling it. I'd never shop that company again.

Ive been @ kohls for 2 yrs..im a supervisor.the pay isnt good unless you are a supervisor and even better if you are a manager. They pay the new part timers minimum wage currently. very flexible easy to work in.very childish at times. as she said earlier, they will politely not schedule you, or lose your notes you write or even lose your app if you are trying to move up and they dont approve

I started at Kohl's in Oct. '10 in New Jersey, making $7.45/hr (I had 2 other jobs while I lived there, so the low pay wasn't a huge deal). I ended up being a manager-favorite, lots of customer comments, a "credit guru" as one of my managers called me, and even earned "sale", "people", and "credit" pins within only 3 months. When I asked for a transfer down to Kohl's here in FL, my manager's even tried to bribe me with trying to get me more hours so I would stay. That being said, even though I went above and beyond, I never got a raise after my 90 days, like I have read they give. 8 months later, even though I'm well liked at my new store in FL, I've still yet to receive a raise. The praise you (usually) receive is nice (good to know you're appreciated), but praise doesn't pay my bills. Now that I'm down to one job, living away from home, it'd be nice to be rewarded in a monetary sense. Although I generally enjoy my job, I may have to leave soon because of the lack of pay and the hours (when it's busy, you get around 20-25, holidays--you'll be worked ragged...when it's not busy, getting 15-20 is what you're looking at). In fact, I just had a woman who started here in FL after I did, quit due to the previously stated reasons. Being hired as seasonal help, then leaving is probably the best bet with Kohl's, unfortunately.

Sadly, they don't just give raises randomly bc ur doing a good job. After ur 90 day raise (some districts don't even do that anymore), u wont get another one until ur yearly review is processed which is in August.

denice said: Kohls does not pay very well that is for sure. I have been there now it will be 10 years in Oct., I am a dept. lead and I do not make $10.00 an hour yet!!! Especially for the amount of work you have.

When I became a part time sup. I started out at 10.50 and that was over 5yrs ago. But lately the full time sups. Have only been getting started off with $9.

I left Kohls 7 months ago...it was a dead end job. Employees are not appreciated as reflected by the hourly rates and annual raises. Many of their retail employees have to work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet, while corporate kohls is getting richer and richer. I think all retail employees should organize a boycott; walk out, and see how kohls responds. Just because someone does not have a formal education doesn't mean a company should abuse that, and kohls does just that. They take advantage of innocent hardworking people to line their pockets.
I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR KOHLS.
